Drill press might be a bit difficult, I was thinking of rigging up something to get the motor spinning at partial throttle and then using either some really good sand paper or maybe carefully use my Dremel to take off little bits at a time.

Just checked my credit card online and I was charged for my order today, so its is on the way, just didn't get an email....

There is a prob though - they charged me full price for the 1717 even though I ordered on 11/30. Guess I'll have to get that straightened out tomorrow on the phone.

Then it gets to sit while I fugure out what to do about finding 6mm pinions...

common bondo! we can do better than that!
i'd go with removing the rotor and finding some way to tail-stop it then machine with a carbide tip in the lathe.
